NIce vid. It looks and sounds tasty! I have a few questions for anyone: (1) should you drink lots of water with these; (2) how do they affect health and wt.loss; and (3) does the Whey affect the other ingredients, which are all natural?

Hmmmm... You should probably drink lots of water anyway. I'm not a doctor. LOL. Since you are simply drinking fruits and vegetables, I am sure that they will have a positive affect on your health, particularly since you will probably consume more this way than if you ate them. I know that the whey is added protein, which is good! You don't have to add the whey you can use nuts for protein if your blender is strong enough. Hemp powder is also good. I hope that I answered your questions!

Agave nectar comes from many types of the agave plant...including blue agave from which tequila is produced.........Nice blender btw!

Thanks TempleoftheRaw!

Agave is sort of like syrup and sort of like honey... It is from a plant and it all natural. I found it at Ingle's grocery store. It will be near the sugar and honey. Whole Foods and health stores may have it.
